Speed dating, reimagined

Meet real people.

Pear is a new kind of speed dating — live, host-led video events where you meet a room full of people in one hour. No swiping. No profiles. Just show up.

Free during beta · No credit card required

How it works

Step 1

Browse and RSVP

Find an event that fits your vibe — by city, date, or crowd. Reserve your spot in seconds.

Step 2

Show up and meet people

Your host kicks things off, then you cycle through timed one-on-one video rounds with everyone in the room.

Step 3

Match with who you liked

After each round you privately say yes or no. Contact info is only shared when both people match.

For guests

Show up. Meet people. Leave with matches.

Pear events are structured, safe, and actually fun. Every attendee is ID-verified. Your host sets the tone. And you never have to wonder if the person on the other side is real.

  • Meet 6–12 people in a single hour
  • ID-verified attendees only — no bots, no catfishing
  • Mutual-match only — your contact info stays private
  • Free during beta

Young professionals, 25–35
